The MOBO Awards 2025 brought together some of the biggest names in music and entertainment, but it wasn’t just the top global artists and awesome performances that stole the show—the red carpet fashion was equally unforgettable.

The Best Red Carpet Looks at MOBOs 2025
Nigeria’s very own Afrobeats artist, Ayra Starr dazzled in a peach sequin gown along with a fur drape of the same color.
The Nova Twins were another one of the best red carpet looks at MOBOs 2025. Their gothic twinning moment had me hooked. They both wore black gowns featuring lace designs and and fishnets respectively.
Music stars weren’t the only ones who chose to grace the occasion fashionably as former contestants on popular Tv show “Love Island” brought their A-game in the fashion department.
Former contestant on the show and the 2025 MOBO host, Indiyah Polack looked dangerously fabulous in a floor length black leather gown featuring nipple tassles — how very couture. Ella Thompson on the hand was a vision in her black ballroom-inspired corset gown, complete with a dramatic train that flowed effortlessly as she walked the red carpet.
The Worst Red Carpet Looks at MOBOs 2025
I, unfortunately could not bring myself to like Kanye King’s mustard yellow dress not to mention that the hue horribly clashed with her skin tone. Overall, it was not a flattering look for the celebrity.
Shaznay Lewis’s glittery silver gown proved unflattering for this public figure on the red carpet. To further complicate things, her bob wig featuring curled bangs did not do much for her facial structure, further worsening the fashion moment.
Honorable Mentions from the MOBO 2025 Awards Night
Other Love Islanders, Amber Gill and her co-reality tv star, Fleur East made a statement on the MOBO 2025 red carpet wearing varying designs of two-piece ensembles. The former wore a black and white two-piece suit featuring a cropped shirt and black tie while the latter wore an all-white two-piece suit.
